load-balancer : Affinity to Host groups
-
Re: Using tags or custom fields for VM placement
Did this feature ever make it into the roadmap for Xen Orchestra? Specifically, the ability to create load-balancing plans that will keep specific tagged VMs running on specific tagged Hosts?
My employer is evaluating alternatives to replace our VMware environment, and the lack of this feature would put XCP-ng out of contention.
As an explanation, our cluster of Hosts are made up of two models. Some hosts have CPUs with higher frequencies and fewer cores, and some hosts have CPUs with lower frequencies and more cores. We have two groups of VMs that need to be constrained to the high-frequency/low-core CPU hosts.
- Some VMs are running single-threaded applications, and they perform poorly on the low-frequency/high-core CPU hosts
- One VM runs license software that checks for the CPU model, and goes to an error state if it detects that the CPU model has changed. This error requires contacting the vendor to get special unlock codes to return it to a functional state.
Is there some way to do this with load-balancer that I am not seeing/understanding, or was this never added to the plugin?
